Affinity - Mac only?

[Seanyboy]

I was just wondering if this is going to be a Mac only product, or is there aspirations for a windows release too?

Affinity is Mac only at the moment. We are trying to build a range of applications that target Mac users. When the Affinity range in established on OSX we will then look to release Apps on iPads. Serif already have a mature range of applications for MS Windows so it's not something we are looking at.

I was wondering when Serif would realise the power of the I-pad Apps  :D I think it's an excellent move, if not a little tardy.

I use an I-Pad for loads of stuff - looking forward to the development Tony!

I think some of us here at Serif realised the power of these things a long time ago (4 years or more) ;)

 

Hopefully, we've backed the right horse. Personally, I think we are going the right way..

The lack of Serif Draw on OSX held me back from migrating to Mac for a long time. The Mac changed to the Intel chip and made partitioning easy with Parallels and I could run Windows on the Mac so I went with it. But it is far from a perfect solution. I have not used Affinity very much yet, but I hope it is Serif Draw (and more) from the Mac. Well done guys - it's what I have been waiting for.

 

A big question I have not seen raised yet concerns importing the vast number of DPP files I have made on Serif Draw. Are there plans to eneable users to import DPP files from SD without having to open Serif Draw and save the DPPs as SVG files first?

Hi RPJ,

I haven't used Affinity Designer that much either, but i can assure you it's in a whole new league compared to Drawplus.
